Some other ways in which men like to feel superior to women:
1. Economically, Ninu out of len men do not think a wife should have a job, six out of seven that she should not have a larger income than her husband.
2. Physically. Two out of three men hate going out with a woman taller than themselves. Two in Ave disapprove of women being good at games,
3. Mentally. More than half do not mind a woman
crying, rather fancy, their powers of sympathy and encouragement. It reminds them of their own greater strength and for- titude. For the same reason seven out of ten like women who expect courtesies from men, dislike their patronage corned.
TN their off moments from feeling superior men enjoy pouring out their troubles to a woman and seeking her help. Three out of Ave like women glving them good advice.
Though they attach more, impar- tance to amiability than domesticity they ke amiability to be confined to the right channels. Three .out of five prefer a woman who is firm rather than lenient with servants.

Five out of ten think that a wo- man should only smoke in private, 1,870 of the 10,009 do not mind It
A man likes to put his wife on a pedestal, but it must not reach up to his own height. Men seldom marry the women they make jokes about, though women often marry the men they laugh, at.
